Studies of gender, sexuality, and psychedelics Q&A

The intersection of gender, sexuality, and psychedelics has been under-explored, often at the expense of those with minority gender expressions or sexualities. This session will examine self-reported psychedelic experiences within these communities and explore the impact on identity, relationships, and well-being. What potential do psychedelics have as tools for self-discovery, gender exploration, and healing from identity-based trauma within the LGBTQIA+ community? Join us to delve into the unique considerations for research and therapeutic applications at this intersection. “Exploring Self-Reported Effects of Naturalistic Psychedelic Use Among Gender and Sexual Minorities”Rafaelle Lancelotta “The impact of psychedelic experiences on sexuality, gender, and intimate relationships”Daniel Kruger “A Queer Path to Wellness: A Longitudinal Investigation of Ayahuasca’s Impact on LGBTQIA+ Psychological Health and Well-being”Matthew Lowe “Bisexual Identity, but not Gay or Lesbian Identity, Moderates Associations Between Lifetime MDMA and Psilocybin Use and Mental Health Outcomes: High Power Insights from the NSDUH”Maya Seale “Kindred: A pilot study of group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to address identity-based trauma” Jae Sevelius
